Bowman’s Surge Powers Hendrick | Nascar News

Alex Bowman delivered a breakout performance at Chicagoland Speedway, securing his first top-five finish since May and a crucial boost for Hendrick Motorsports as they battle to make the Chase. With just seven races left and the team sitting 29th in points, Bowman’s strong showing—including stage points and another top-ten—signals a turning point. Off the track, he’s also making waves in the In-Season Challenge, advancing from the 32nd seed to the quarterfinals after stunning higher-seeded opponents, including a showdown with Zane Smith. For Bowman, in his contract year and recovering from missed races due to vertigo, this momentum is vital. Chad Knaus praised the team’s growth and Bowman’s comfort behind the wheel, crediting the strong chemistry with crew chief Blake Harris—a bond forged through adversity that’s now paying dividends.
